Goke7:
We are playing tikitaka in defence instead of playing out the ball faster now we have conceded again in the dying minutes of the first half. This is a recurring issue

Asin dey are trying to play tikitaka for defense🤣

Our defense don dey sleep 🤦... midfield ain't helping matters by trying to control the game...anyways let me still pardon these ones that manage to score a goal far away from home

Iheanacho for make small sense pass Tolu/Awoniyi/Akor... especially when it comes to eyes on goal..the guys has technical know-how pass the aforementioned 3

FiveFootNinja:
A win is too much. That Guinea Bissau game worst case scenario I was expecting a 0-0 draw.

I just dashed them that 1-0, maybe cos of the African hostile awa factor...these guys or those hungry ones last year international friendly window would have found a way to hold GNB or maybe lose by a narrow margin

Chelle wan use him hand bring Nigerian curses and hatred upon himself....you can't have hungry boys wipe Jamaica, Zimbabwe,beat Iran....and when serious game come you will now be playing Tolu and Awoniyi and some other lazy players...
I know it's too early...but these guys playing will not lose 3-0 to GNB,...Highest we play draw or make dem win us 1-0...Super chicken!

Iheanachoooooo

Blueelf:
Some players are serial underperformers

Tolu Arokodare
Taiwo Awoniyi
Frank Onyeka post-2023
Semi Ajayi - Not sold on him and I don't know why he starts

Awoniyi and Tolu own dey vex me pass...tueeeh for those lazy strikers

BankyGee:
First goal against Nigeria was Galatasaray assisting Trabzonspor to score Chippa United 😂

No be league cause this one, it's lack of zeal and hunger from the players. Nwabali open eyes stand at attention make three balls pass am. These days he only saves shots directed towards him. Them don know say he no dey dive so once they drive with the ball, they just pick close to the farthest angle and unleash. Chief no dey dirty jersey.

Chief ekwulobia one of Anambra state😀🤣🤣

SymphonyRad:
Lmao true sha, honestly we need to phase out so many players in this team, apart from Iwobi, Bassey and of course Osimhen the other so called established older players are stumbling blocks and are just not good enough anymore. I can bet that our U23 team would have done better against Guinea Bissau, very soon Seychelles go begin beat us if we don't get our acts together fast.

Yes oo our u23 would have given a hustling fight that day

SymphonyRad:
Bros we're bad but not "Eritrea beat us" kind of bad, haba...Eritrea is on the same quality level as Sao Tome. I won't even consider Guinea Bissau a minnow team cause they have decent players that play abroad.

Kenya who I will say have the same perceived level with Guinea Bissau, played a 1-1 with Eritrea...that's to tell you they are finding pride bit by bit in their football...if they Eritrea can hold Kenya to a 1-1 draw, one day, dey will upgrade to holding Mali to a draw another day will upgrade to beating Cape Verde another day they will upgrade to holding Ghana, then before you know them don pip us Giant of Africa 1-0🤣🤣...na so Guinea Bissau take start...who knew Guinea Bissau in football before as at Afcon 2008,2010,2012,2013,2015,2017...na Nigeria many of them dey use first shine....from CAR to Guinea Bissau, another baby team will come yeye us again one day if we don't sit up..dey watch

SymphonyRad:
Eritrea no be the same as Guinea Bissau sha, GB is a very decent side that can beat any of the top African teams outside of Morocco, Ivory Coast and Senegal.

Ok ooo, until the day dem catch super eagles shock us with a 1-0 or 2-0 win🤣🤣

AndSunGorilla:
Jendor, nobody has beaten us by this scoreline in a competitive game in a long time, not even Argentina, the last time we lost by a 3 goal margin that I recall is at France 1998. My brother it was a bad loss going by our records and standards.

Spain beat us 3-0 at Confederation cup 2013

caprikon:
Wake up call for Sekou Chelle.

It is a good this loss happened sooner that later.

Some players in the team need to be phased out. After missing out on back -to-back world cups..an AFCON failure shouldn't be a big deal. Lol

He should start preparing for 2030 and beyond. Our midfield depth is still quite an issue though injuries played it's part during this window.

He won't even think of staying, Nigeria heading into 2030 qualifiers would be a hell to stay in and coach for him..dem no born am well to miss Afcon and still have the guts to remain as coach...na Odegbami and ex eagles players(80's/90's set)go first bring out their pepeye mouth to finish him

SA making a statement by hammering Eritrea 5-0 away.. second team to record highest score line in this qualify series after Egypt went away to dismantle south Sudan 5-0

Blueelf:
Usually in hindsight, when all matches have been played in qualifiers, that's when Niverians realize that sos so game as the decider

See, in qualifiers, you take every game seriously because you don't know which one may seal your faith. That's submission

I am not doing back and forth with you on this today please

Oga if you don lose hope, lose your hope in peace... yesterday was not any yeye decider, there are still 4more matches to play....Even when we are leading the group, the usual YOU that we all know will still be scared that we might not qualify..so forget abeg

SolaFide:
I will say it loud and clear.

SACK COACH ERIC CHELLE NOW....

And draft in Eguavoen as interim abi?

Blueelf:
We can't drop out na

But you'll agree with me that that game was a decider

Just as we lost or drew game decoders in the last WCQ

Must wr always make mistakes and then resort to calculator everytime, it's annoying bro

Decider? Really?...2 out of 6matches?...that cannot be a decider naaa...we are not languishing at the bottom naa...Bro if you ask Madagascar they will tell you dey are happy for Nigeria loss, cos if Nigeria had gotten a 6pts and leaving GNB on 3pts it will be hard for them to catch up... Madagascans will still fancy their chances to qualify for afcon

Kog45:
Anytime I looked at Nigeria US 94 team I just smiled,do you know why,their club sides damn funny but talking about team chemistry the team got it.

Okay I think nothing difference from Guinea Bissau team, except Nigeria name

1 Stanley Nwabali..Chippa South Africa
2.Osayi ................ Birmingham
3.Bruno.................Olympiakos
4.Ajayi...................Hull City
5.Bassey., ............Fulham
6.Ndidi...................Besiktas
7.Oyenka..................Coventry
8.Akor.....................Venezia
9.Awoniyi................Coventry
10.Iwobi...,.............. Fulham
11.Lookman..............Atletico Madrid

We're overrating our team.

Baba Besiktas na Turkish giant, Athletic Madrid na Spanish giant,Olympiakos na Greek giant, Fulham is an EPL midtable consistent team, Hull and Coventry are playing in the best league in the world...compare to all those unknown names/unknown leagues those GNB players play in

Blueelf:
I agree with you on this

We weren't inferior in terms of ability. We just lacked the right tactics and hunger

Asin eehnn got beaten 3-0 by a country with players playing in
Trabsonspor
Portimonense
Rio Ave
Omonia 29M
Brest
Athletic Bilbao
Dundee utd
APOEL
Botev Plovdiv
San jose earthquake
Lusitanio de evora
Oulu
Lugo
Balzan
Estrela da amadora
Dunkerque
Famalicao
Moreirense
Nancy
Penafiel

Na where people wey beat us 3-0 dey play football b this oo

Kog45:
The issue now is our away games?South Africa took us to terrible pitch the same thing Guinea Bissau.

Where Madagascar played Tanzania yesterday was a very good playing turf, same place GNB beat Tanzania, was a nice turf... except if they wanna suffer us by changing their venues

Kog45:
Thank God the young boy didn't started,some would said "Oh, sincerely am not really blaming the players cuz looking at the team tactically yesterday we need someone like Chuckwueze to hold on to ball drawing players to himself and reason why I don't know why Chelle failed to start Uzor.

In the first half Ajayi wasn't and our local boy Nwaiwu who started from sanding ground would have done better in the second half.....Ndidi and Oyenka were just busy doing nothing and Iwobi cannot be doing passes alone..our midfielders were off.

What's pains me in Chelle matter is, why is he discarding prospective talents that have displayed moments of brilliance in previous test games....vs Poland, vs Portugal, Vs Zimbabwe, vs Jamaica, we have had more than 8players put together from defense to midfield to attack that shone brightly, why is is sticking with Ajayi,Awoniyi,Tolu "the world cup 2026 qualiiers failures"

Blueelf:
Una don open this una rubbish calculator

Guess what, not every team has a poor mentality like the SE

It's also possible the guineas wikln the remainder of all their games too, abi you think that those boys haven't been energised by what happened

You for say make we no play qualifiers again na...You are trialing by 3pts and -2GD you say make we no get small hope abi?...This is not like the world cup group where Osimhen joined the race while we were at the bottom 2 with 6teams on 3pts...Waking up to the right mentality we should start playing good game...abi no b the same super eagles guys went to Rwanda and won 2-0, went to Lesotho 2-1, beat Benin 4-0 and dispatch teams at the Afcon?...baba na spark and ginger this lazy guys need to get up and running, if we put pressure on the chase, GNB may likely fragment, they are not SA or CIV or DRC... except if Chelle has lost his lucks and tactics

Meliforme:
I love the colourful design of this stadium. It will be excellent for hosting secondary school inter-house sports

Baba leave color abeg...at this point we are particular about the turf/pitch standard, what we need now is for the boys to play on standard and well trimmed lush green grass...
If Teslim have it abeg make dem go their

Nigerians are playing in weak leagues...GNB wey beat us yesterday dey play for Barca,Madrid,Mancity abi?
This crop of eagles are just too lazy, toothless, cowards, and lacks character abeg.
If everyone can add that aggression we see in defense like Bassey and in attack like Osimhen we won't be losing 3-0 to GNB...if it were CIV or Senegal beating us 3-0 I will agree it's due to them having players playing in top leagues against our boys playing in weak leagues

Kog45:
Oga with Chelle diamond formation yesterday,Ilenikhena would do nothing and only Osimehn would have tried..... very porous midfield that gave nothing to the attack and opened the defenders to costly mistakes...Ndidi,Oyenka and Iwobi messed things up and tactically Chelle was exposed,nothing stopped Uzor from starting since Chuckwueze wasn't available, removing Awo instead of Akor?Ajayi shouldn't have started second half,Nwaiwu a local boy would have done the needful on that bad pitch,very terrible match from eagles

Bro did you see the cameo appearance Ilenikhena had yesterday...imagine him starting that match, we would have lost but George would have registered 1 or 2goals...Awoniyi,Tolu,Akor are just toothless strikers them no sabi

Franktom247:
Can you really beat your chest and say this boys will win the reminder of their game

I know our boys might not win all the matches..in the remaining 4games I see a 3win and 1 draw or worst still 2wins, 2draws....in same vein GNB will not win all their matches, those guys are not SA, they will goof some where, either away to Madagascar or even home to Tanzania..they will drop point las las drawing Tanzania in their home and drawing or losing to Madagascar away..make we dey watch

2013 Spain beat us 3-0
2026 Guinea Bissau beat us 3-0

So Iwobi and co no dey shame say Minnow beat us 3-0...Omo these Super chicken boys dey crase walai😡😡🤦🤦🤦🤣🤣

SymphonyRad:
Players that need to phased out:

Ndidi
Onyeka
Akor
Osayi-Samuel
Ajayi
Simon Moses
Awoniyi

Players that should be on probation:

Lookman
Chukwueze
Iwobi

Players that should be introduced:
Any of the U23 players that impress against Russia
Gift Orban
Tim Iroegbunam
Akinsanmiro
(Feel free to add more)

I wanna see that Bewene,Naiwu,Benjamin Frederick pairing with Bassey at the defense...we need young boys that wanna make name abeg...all those Ajayi should be retiring alongside with Ekong, even Osayi...Since after Afcon 2023 Ola Aina has been playing rubbish for super eagles, since after Lookman won the AFPOTY he has been playing rubbish in super eagles, nobody should come and bug me with "Lookman is a tournament player" baba Lookman and Akor thrived at Afcon simply because of Osimhen's presence...go and watch all our Afcon from 2023 to 2025, Osimhen's darting runs and bullying runs draws defense to him leaving space for Akor/Lookman to have a good Afcon campaign...abeg bring in Femi Azeez,Zadok Yohana let's young hungry boys come and show themselves biko.

Just watch as all of them will go back to their clubs now and start scoring mumu goals especially that girl striker with pink lips...

I don't even wanna talk about the Russia friendly.. Iheanacho has been scoring for Bursapors, just put him vs Russia, na so he go dey open mouth like elede

See ehhn abeg if Teslim Balogun in surulere has a good and excellent playing turf let them take Tanzania match to Lagos abeg..
If na to borrow all the LED display board in neighboring Ogun state(Remo stadium) and come install, no wahala🤣....na 5k capacity Uyo take pass Teslim Balogun and maybe the beautiful exterior stadium design of Uyo....But as for pitch/turf excellence I really don't like that Uyo's turf...maybe it's cos of the 1960 NFF streaming camera I may be wrong though...this new newly renovated Teslim looks cool abeg and I'm sure the 25k capacity will be filled to the brim

Joebie:
wait make i go even look the line-up because i no follow this match

That ILENIKHENA would have disturbed the GNB defense with runs...that boy look more super eagles material to me than Tolu,Awoniyi, Akor plus he scored a goal vs Madagascar, that alone morale booster....if he was fit to play 15mins and made some significant moments, then he was good to start that match abeg

Somalia playing their home game against CIV at the Accra sport stadium in Ghana...see as Ghanaians dey support SOMALIA 🤣🤣after that thing wey CIV do dem...chai African football oo

elyte89:
When I said African qualifiers will be extremely difficult going forward..ppu think I was joking..d fact dt Cape Verde 🇨🇻 qualified and did well at d World Cup had given enough motivation to d so called minnows;now d minnows are now recruiting players from abroad,everybody is beefing up their squad;even Ugandans are ready to give 9ine players deir citizenship for dis upcoming afcon


Dis one na small film ..u c dt 2030 wcq will be fire 🔥

Omo ehhn
